Dead Rising 3
Couldn't find a thread on this when I done a search.
Did anyone pick this up at launch? All the videos I had seen previously were really impressive and was making this one of the stand out launch titles for me. But then I read about issues with its performance and it put me off it a bit. However, from watching Twitch streams, it doesn't seem that bad. All those zombies & ways to kill them look awesome! :cool:
What are your thoughts on the game? I've ordered this to go with my X1 when it comes, along with Forza 5 and Peggle 2 download whenever it's released.

Plus I've been giving the smartglass app ago with it as well and is a rather nice small extra.
I'm waiting on one of my friends so we can play though in co-op.
So far it looks gorgeous and runs really well. I can foresee myself having a lot of fun with this.
No, although i believe there is a seperate 'Nightmare mode' that has time limits
from wiki
Its got a few obscure walking dead references but its got so much in terms of game play and variety that you just cant lose.
Such a blast when your surrounded by loads and loads of zombies then fighting your way out.
But yet, there is a countdown on this one too of 5 days. So I'm confused about the whole time limit aspect again.
I just checked the Smartglass app and there's a challenge for Dead Rising 3 that has 5 days left to kill 5000 zombies in that time.
You get a Grim Reaper head as reward.
Giving DR3 a break until 20th Dec (I think) that's when the next challenge starts.
You won't be disappointed, I've had a couple of hours tonight on this, very enjoyable
There is something to be said for mindless violence using everyday objects!
Does mess with your head a bit.
After playing it for 5 days straight, I ventured into the town centre and saw the masses of Xmas shoppers on Market Street and all I could think of was mowing them all down with my Rollerhawg.:D
I ended up playing it for a good few hours last night, so far really impressed with it, the gameplay is just so fun, feels perfect with the X1 controller but it's slightly overwhelming as the world is so big combined with so much to do plus the map is a bit hard to make sense of.
Technically it's impressive too, from the lighting to the smooth frame rate, there's so many on-screen zombies it's insane at points, I've never seen anything quite like it. Had a couple of boss fights so far, one of my pet peeves from the series as they were always so frustrating but not in this, they were actually fun, fancy that!
Definitely going to be a game that keeps me occupied over the Christmas period.
Think it's just a couple of weapons and outfits.
Chuck Green outfit and Paddlesaw (chainsaw at either end of a canoe paddle) combo weapon (good for mid-late game hordes)
Frank West outfit and Zombie Slugger combo weapon (baseball bat with nails and barbed wire)
Both weapons have better than normal durability.
Next challenge starts this week to spill so much zombie blood before Xmas day.
First piece of DLC out Xmas eve.
I have DR3 & Forza 5 coming with my XB1 from ShopTo tomorrow
Thanks for letting me know.
